Theories: Aria

So because it is only 9 days until Pretty Little Liars returns, we're going to be posting some theories. Some will be about A, some will be about Alison, some will be about the girls in general and some will link into more than one of those categories. So we've decided that, because there are so many fan theories and suspicion, we're going to start with Miss Aria Montgomery. 

Multiple Personality Disorder?
In the pilot episode (1x01) Aria orders a cheeseburger in the bar in Hollis, where she met Ezra Fitz, however in later episodes she and Spencer have a conversation about being 'excused from dissection in Biology due to Vegetarian grounds. Also in season 4, Jake and Aria are talking and he asks her if he could take her to get a steak or something but she politely declines saying that she doesn't eat meat, at all. This could just be that Aria has changed her mind, and become a vegetarian but it doesn't seem that simple, could she have a multiple personality disorder? 

Some symptoms of a multiple personality disorder are paranoia, Anxiety, Panic attacks, Phobias, flashbacks and 'Out of body experiences'. Aria admitted to feeling like she had an 'out of body experience' when Melissa found Ian's body at the beginning of season 2. Aria had a panic attack in the girls bathroom/toilets at Rosewood High in season 3 when she thought that she saw -A. In 4x01, after the girls found a pig in the trunk of Wilden's cop car, Aria seemed to be the most paranoid - she kept looking out of the window as if she was checking nobody was coming, Mona said to Aria 'Aria you can stop looking out of the window, they aren't coming for us'. Flashbacks are a very common theme in the whole show, but most of Aria's flashbacks relate to the same thing - this is a symptom of Multiple Personality Disorder (where a theme/object is a trigger to a certain memory). When Aria and Alison found Byron cheating on Ella with Meredith, this seems to be the trigger. In other Aria-Ali flashbacks it all seems to link to that moment/discovery. Most of the Ali-Aria flashbacks are to do with this discovery - for example, in one flashback we see Aria and Ali trashing Mr Montgomery's office at Hollis, in other flashbacks we see them talking about it/Ali making remarks about it.


In season 4, Aria and Jake are watching a movie and the main character in it supposedly has a multiple personality disorder, she is seen scratching her knee. Later on in the same episode we see Aria doing the SAME thing. 

In the film, The Black Swan, the main character suffers with a personality disorder and ends up stabbing herself because she thought it was someone else out to get her. Aria is dressed as the Black Swan in UnmAsked. 

Another symptom of Multiple Personality Disorder is High Risk Sexual Behaviour - Aria and Ezra have/had a sexual relationship which is frowned upon/illegal as he is/was her teacher. This could be a hint/clue that she suffers from Multiple personality disorder, maybe Ezra does too, after all he was revealed to be -A in the season 4A finale. Could they be in it together?

After reading and watching some other fan theories, a theme that has been common is that Aria is the only one to have seen -A in certain situations but -A then quickly vanishes. Some fans think that this might be because her 'A personality' is leaking into her consciousness, instead of staying subconscious. A couple of examples could be when Garrett Reynolds' mother is taken into hospital and the girls are stood watching, and Aria notices an -A type figure stood watching them. Another example could be when the girls are sneaking into the morgue and Aria is on watch outside and she sees redcoat/-A coming down the corridor through the mirror, but then chases them and they are seemingly gone.

Another theme that is common is the pig theme, a symptom of Multiple personality disorder is that can start from a child creating a role or character to 'escape' a traumatic event or issue, if this continues throughout their lifetime, they can develop the full Multiple Personality Disorder. A couple of theories have noticed that that Aria was obsessed with her pig puppet, one theory imparticular has noted that maybe Aria's pig puppet was their escape character. The pig theme is very common throughout the series, and -A's messages (-A made Hanna eat the pig cupcakes, there was a pig in Wilden's cop car etc.). 

So what do you think? Does Aria suffer from Multiple personality disorder? Is she -A? Let us know in the comments!

Sara Harvey

With the upcoming season of Pretty Little Liars not too far away, new promos and sneak peeks are being released and we thought it would be interesting to look at the sneak peek imparticular. 

Here is the official episode synopsis:
Armed with the knowledge that Alison is alive, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer have more questions now than ever before in an all-new episode of “Pretty Little Liars,” entitled “Who’s In The Box?,” airing Tuesday, January 7 (8:00 – 9:00 PM ET/PT). Trying to put the pieces together Hanna comes up with the idea that if they find out who is really buried in Ali’s grave it may lead to much needed answers. But as the girls search, Emily has trouble dealing with how she feels about Alison being alive.
Meanwhile, Caleb returns to Rosewood, and Ezra has clandestine meetings with Mona and Aria.  

We're focusing on the new sneak peek for the episode for this post though. In the sneak peek, it shows Hanna, Spencer and Emily seemingly in a classroom talking about what Hanna found out about who she thinks is in Ali's grave. 

Hanna tells the girls that she has done some research and found a girl from Cortland called Sara Harvey who went missing around the same time Ali did, and her parents think she ran off with a boy. She's blonde, same age and she's 'sort of Ali's size'. Hanna mentions that it's not too far away and it's the same timing. Then Hanna tells Spencer and Emily about e-mailing Sara's friends saying 'We have some things in common and I think we should talk, it could be like a support group thing'. Then -A puts a video on which says about school and then a message comes up on the screen saying: 

Ali, Ali Oxen-free, whoever finds her gets to keep her -A

And the girls ask eachother if they just got dared. 

We think that this sneak peek gives a real insight into what the girls are going to be doing/looking for this season.
